What is ILA file?

The ILA file has been categorized as Document Files. It was designed by DATEV. Document Files consists of 574 similar files. LohnViewer Document is most often found on 1 operating systems. Although it can be found with greater or lesser success on any operating system, it will only be useful on Windows. It is recommended to use LohnViewer to handle this file. This is a program created by DATEV.

How to open ILA file?

The main problem with LohnViewer Document is that the ILA file is incorrectly associated with programs. This causes the file ILA to open by system applications not designed for this purpose, or to display a message that there is no associated program. How to solve such a problem?

The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the ILA file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.

Step 1. Install LohnViewer

The first step is to check if the computer has the LohnViewer program installed. The easiest method is to use the system search engine by entering the program name LohnViewer in it. If we do not have this program, it is worth installing it, as it will help you automatically associate the file ILA with LohnViewer. Below you will find a list of applications that support ILA files.

Programs to open ILA file

Remember to download programs supporting ILA files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.

Step 2. Create association of LohnViewer with ILA files

If, despite the installed application, the ILA file does not start in the LohnViewer application, you must create a file association. This option is available from the level of Properties of a specific file available in the context menu. Information about the file and the program that the file is associated with are available here. Using the "Change" button we can set the program to handle this type. It may happen that in the next window there will be no appropriate program - however, this can be corrected with the "Browse" option where you should manually indicate the program location. Checking the "Always use the selected program ..." box will permanently associate the ILA file with the LohnViewer program.

Step 3. Update LohnViewer to the latest version

If, despite the association of the LohnViewer program with the LohnViewer Document file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. Some applications allow you to update from the program level, and for others you need to download the installer from the DATEV page and install.

Step 4. Check for the following problems with the ILA file

Of course, it may happen that despite the above steps, the file still does not work. The most common file problems are:

The affected file may be 0 KB or smaller than expected. This suggests truncating the ILA file contents when downloading or copying. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The computer may have fallen victim to a computer virus or hacker. A quick virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should clear up any doubts. Alternatively, you can use the scanners available online. The scan should cover the entire computer, not only the ILA file that we want to open. Sometimes virus-infected ILA files cannot be recovered, so make a backup in advance.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the ILA file. These problems are known and are often very easy to fix using the software developers's website.
There can be many reasons for this. The repair method must be adapted to the type of file and damage. Some programs offer the option of recovering data from damaged ILA files. You can restore the file from a backup or use DATEV help.
The program can also signal the fact of encryption. The encrypted ILA files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
Some operating systems do not allow file operations in certain locations, eg in system directories or directly on the system drive. The problem is only writing to the file, not reading it. It is best to move ILA to a different directory.
This problem usually affects more complex files. Some file types can only be opened in one program at a time. Closing other programs should help. If the error persists after closing other programs, wait for a while. However, some background programs may block the ILA file while scanning. If this does not work either, restart the device.
